Your residential site was identified as one that was potentially Excelsior not in full compliance with one or more LMCD Ordinances. The LMCD Chris Jewett Board of Directors has o ted to ursue a course of education and volunta Minnetonka P P rY Steve Johnson compliance for all sites so identified. The intent of this letter is to provide Mound you with relevant and current information to allow you to assess your dock Keith Kask Deephaven and watercraft storage configuration, and to take steps to bring them into Dennis Klohs compliance, if necessary, during the 2010 boating season and beyond. Minnetonka Beach Re eat ins ections will be erformed in 2010 to determine if this a roach Bi��o�son P P P PP victoria W8S SUCC@SSfUI. Herb Suerth Woodland Dick Woodruff Your location was identified as one that previouslv had combined five or Shorewood more restricted watercraft stored at vour site at the time it was inspected. In order to legally store the same number of restricted watercraft that you previously had, a multiple dock license would be required. LMCD staff would be happy to discuss the possibility of obtaining a multiple dock license for your site. If it is determined that you do not qualify for a multiple dock license, communication will be provided with other compliant storage options available to you. The LMCD website and the LMCD staff are resources you can use to help answer any questions you have about the Ordinance details or the voluntary compliance process. Chapter 2 ofi the LMCD Code, "Regulations of Structures within the Lake," is the relevant Chapter in answering those questions. To assist you, copies of various sections of this Chapter are enclosed for your review, which can also be found on the LMCD web site at http://www.lmcd.org/paQes/Chapter2.htm. The following is offered to help summarize the general rules and regulations: What is a restricted watercraft? A restricted watercraft is defined as any boat or vessel for use on or stored on the public waters on the lake except for unrestricted watercraft. An unrestricted watercraft is defined as a boat or vessel that is: 1) 16' or less in length and unmotorized; or 2) 16' or less in length and which uses a motor of 10 horsepower or less; or 3) 20' or less in length and unmotorized, and which is propelled solely by � human power. _ . 50%Racycled Content Web Page Address: http://www.lmcd.org 20%Post Consumer Waste E-mail Address: Imcd�lmcd.org Shane and Kristine Rudd; Gina 8 Steward Hansen March 9, 2010 Page 2 Most personal watercraft (Jet Ski, Wave Runner, or similar) wouid qualify as a restricted watercraft (due to horsepower). A sailboat longer than 16' (motorized or un-motorized) would also qualify as a restricted watercraft. How manv boats can I store? LMCD ordinances regulate the number of restricted watercraft that may be moored or docked within a Dock Use Area (Section 2.01) at a residential site. In summary, Section 2.02 provides for: • The General Rule is one restricted watercraft for each 50' (1:50') of continuous shoreline; without reference to the owners of the watercraft being residents of the site (Subd.1); or • Untess a greater number is allowed by the 1:50' General Rule, up to two restricted watercraft may be moored or docked at a dock or mooring facility on a residential site in existence on Auqust 30, 1978; without regard to the owners of the watercraft being residents of the site (Subd 2); or • A site that cannot provide for the 1:50' General Rule has the ability to moor or dock up to four restricted watercraft, provided a number of conditions are met. One of these conditions includes all restricted watercraft must be owned and reqistered to the residents who live in the one sinqle-familv residential structure on the site (Subd 3; a-c). Resldents should check with their city for any additional storage restrictions. The LMCD is requesting your cooperation in taking the time to understand the rules and regulations and maintain your site within those regulations. Additionally, I would like to offer my assistance. Please feel free to give me a call and we can take time over the phone or in person to better understand the options available. At that time, proof of watercraft ownership would be helpful. As inspections will continue in 2010, your prompt attention and cooperation in addressing this matter is appreciated. Thank you for your time and efforts.
